Bollox. Craig gone to the 4th ball of the new ball.

Byrom rapidly follows LBW. Looked like it might be sliding down leg.

 

[Alistair20000]

Gregory LBW. Plumb this time

 

[Alistair20000]

Leach LBW and Brooks clean bowled by the spinner in successive balls. 301 all out. Would have taken that at start of play.

Essex with 2 or 3 overs to face in dodgy light until Stumps

 

[Alistair20000]

Umps fanny around with light meters and draw stumps letting Essex off a potentially tough 3 overs.

301 all out. Would have taken that at start of play.

Yes indeed. A little disappointing not to have got a few more, perhaps, after being 260 odd for 5, but it's a decent score. As you also say, it's a pity we couldn't have had a go at them for a few overs. But overall a bleddy good effort from the bauys, having lost the toss yesterday morning.

What happens if the game is a draw?

Forecast is indifferent again tomorrow but dry and cool for the weekend.

Rooting for you boys to triumph over the Chelmsford mob.

Team that has first innings lead will win if it is a draw.

Cool weather suggests good conditions for bowlers.
